Answer:
P(A∩B) = 7/80
P(A∩B) = 0.0875
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
P(B)=7/20
P(A|B)=¼
Required
P(A∩B)=?
The given probability shows conditional probability and the relationship between the given parameters is as follows.
P(A∩B) = P(B) * P(A|B)
Substitute ¼ for P(A|B) and 7/20 for P(B)
The expression
P(A∩B) = P(B) * P(A|B) becomes
P(A∩B) = 7/20 * ¼
P(A∩B) = 7/80
P(A∩B) = 0.0875
Hence, the calculated P(A∩B) is 7/80 or 0.0875
